rotational theory. From what I have read on this site, most of you think that EVERY
average hitter is linear. By linear, you guys say "A to B" In my entire life, I have never seen
a hitter go exactly "A to B" as you guys say it. No one does it. You claim that if your not
rotational, then you go "A to B". Please, someone give me a clip of someone actually
hitting going "A to B". And I am not talking about a clip that some hitting guy made where
he shows an example of a "A to B" swing. I want an actual clip that shows someone going
straight "A to B", with no rotation at all. Because I guarantee you cant find one. It is
impossible to hit a ball with any authority using "A to B". Never in my life have I seen
someone do that. Maybe its not completely rotational, but it is definitely not "A to B" as
you describe it. I think you just think that rotational is something that cant be natural, you
think that everyone just hits linear.

guys are great. But you describe rotational as if no one does it unless they are taught it.
Like I said, please send me a clip of a real hitter hitting linear as you claim it to be "A to B"
Hitting is both rotational and linear, not just one.

Mike,

You and I agree, rotational actions along with linear actions is what makes up a quality
swing. If you read all of my posts you will see that I am NOT an advocate of the strictly
linear swing as this site describes (A to B). Nor am I ever gong to teach someone to swing
with just rotational actions either.

This site wants NO linear actions to be thought of as a good thing because it goes against
the whole set of ideas that make up the selling points to this business of theirs.
